Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) came out in support of the bipartisan infrastructure bill Thursday, becoming the fifth House Republican to do so.
The five Republicans are backing the Senate-passed bill despite the fact that their leadership team is whipping members against it.
"First of all, I think we need hard infrastructure. I worked on this bill from the beginning as part of the Problem Solvers so it's been a half-Republican, half-Democrat effort," Bacon told reporters. "I think it's an area we can show Congress working."
GOP Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), Tom Reed (N.Y.) and Fred Upton (Mich.) have also publicly signaled that they will support the infrastructure bill according to The Hill's whip list.
To pass this legislation, House Democrats can only afford to lose about three votes from their party without any help from Republicans.....snip~
